Derby Hawks lost only one game during the season
to Roos by 9 points but went on to win their first ever football
premiership. They beat Saints 16.10 to 11.8. Hawks built up a
five goal lead at the outset. Saints made a big effort in the
third quarter but Derby stormed home in the last quarter to win
by six goals.

At a Mardi gras celebration afterwards, medals
were presented to all players.
